Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

[White Lightning]

Here is an update on the track season coming up soon. This is going to be a year that will hopefully take him to an even higher level. I've never been this excited about a track season in a very long time. You can do it Christophe!

Two great bits of news on Christophe. First and foremost, he won the French Athlete of the Year for the 2nd year in a row! Congrats to "the master" as it is well deserved.

The second is how the "Lemaitre Effect" is already paying off with the nations youth. Very exciting news. Here is the link.

open the flood gates!

He was lucky that he was even found. From what I read his coach thought he had natural talent, but Olympic level talent wasn't readily apparent, even after a few months of training. Just from that you can tell that plenty of potential White athletes fall through the cracks.

Here is another new commercial from Asics. Youtube.com is such a great place to find commercials that you don't often get to watch in the United States or other countries. Enjoy it gentlemen.

Ok here we go with my pics. I will predict a blistering time of 9.84 in the 100 and an eye popping 19.70 in the 200 meters. I would probably say faster in the 10 but he still hasn't put on enough upper body muscle and fixed his start to the point where he can consistantly explode out of the starting blocks. Just wait till the olympics in 2016. I predict he will be a favorite in the 100 by then.:smiley:

9.79 and 19.59!

I think that next goal for Christophe to enter in athletics history is to beat european records. If he could run around 9.86 / 19.72 this year, that would be so great. I just hope that he will manage to break these records soon, and then begin next stage in his career.

The average so far is 9.86 / 19.68 so I will go with that - but I think it is optimistic for both to be achieved in one year.

Christophe pulls top ten ranking in Track & Field News, way to go Lemaitre!

 

[LoLy]

Christophe pulls top ten ranking in Track & Field News, way to go Lemaitre!

in 2011

100m: 11th or 10 th without Mullings (caught)
200m: 4 th

so I think they could rank him better than 10 th (7th would be better with average)

 

[albinosprint]

T&FN here in the states have him ranked 5th in the 100m & 4th in the 200m.
